Benefit auctions are a key component of nonprofit fund-raising. However, a tough economy and competitive fund-raising climate are challenging local nonprofits to advance their cause and their bottom line.

That's why Kathy Kingston, an award-winning professional fund-raising auctioneer and consultant, developed auction training for charitable organizations drawing upon her 22 years of experience.

Her next Benefit Auction Seminars are scheduled for Oct. 7-8 at the Holiday Inn in Brookline, Mass.

Auction novices and those with years of experience will benefit from the best practices covered in the full-day program titled "SOLD!," on Oct. 7.

A separate workshop the next day covers advanced auction strategies in a half-day program called "A HIGHER BID."

Kingston is president of Kingston Auction Company (www.KingstonAuction.com) and has specialized in benefit auctions and consulting for more than 22 years.

Array Corporation of Hampton recently announced the upgrade of its DICOM 2905 laser film digitizer from 4.0 to 4.3 optical density range.

The DICOM 2905 laser film digitizer is the equipment of choice for users who demand the highest diagnostic image quality for DICOM secondary capture.

The 2905's ability to scan a 14-inches by 7-inches film at 2K resolution in fewer than seven seconds and its capacity to address a wide choice of applications, relevant priors, primary reads, digital duplicates, or output for teaching files, help classify its unsurpassed utility.

"We're finding that as the adoption of full field digital mammography is growing, there are still some facilities that haven't fully deployed PACS for mammography, which is creating a need for one piece of equipment that can do it all," Array President Tom Nardozzi said. "Not all institutions are in the position to afford one digitizer for main department use, and another devoted to mammography, even though there are options for that."

After years of working in the local community in the public schools and hospital environment, Lisa Mitchell, CCC-SLP, has opened a new practice.

Clearly Speaking, a speech and language therapy clinic for children, opened in Hampton Falls in July.

The new clinic serves children in the coastal New Hampshire community who have a variety of speech and language challenges, from lisps and stuttering to language delayed or disordered children.

"For children with speech and language difficulties, treating them as early as possible is essential. I created Clearly Speaking for just this reason," Mitchell said. "There are many children in our community who need speech therapy and, for whatever reason, may not be getting what they need. If a school decides a child's speech and/or language problem does not affect academic performance, it most likely will not be the responsibility of the school to treat the problem."

Clearly Speaking opened in July in downtown Hampton Falls (near Harbor Lights lighting company). Clearly Speaking also has an office with pediatrician Mona Feng, M.D., in Newmarket.

For families with questions about their child's speech and language development, Clearly Speaking can be reached at 926-3277 or at www.clearlyspeakingNH.com.
